Brook Drumm of Printrbot posted on his G+ about Printrbot Paste Extruder.
He announced some possible interesting future implementations of this type of extruder:
  • Heated syringe (chocolate and human cells??)
  • Printable files to convert to dual chamber syringe with quick drying silicone and a mixer nozzle (off the shelf stuff)
  • quick setting UV resin paste with light on the end of the tip 
  • conversion to a Bowden type setup so the extruder can sit on the table getting all that mass off the printer
  • a sister extruder that will push moist clay through a bigger hose for big clay prints ready to fire
  • large pneumatically assisted reservoir for longer/bigger prints feeding a screw drive print head
  • new material mixes for sturdier paste and firmer clay to support the weight of the print (cellulose, etc)
  • metal construction to get rid of laser cut wood 
  • dabble in concrete then scale it up
  • -ugar paste for edible goodies
  • shortbread cookie recipes for cookie paste
  • pancakes, anyone?
  • 3d jello art
  • crazy ideas from the community welcomed here!!
